Arthur Stanley Eddington

Arthur Stanley Eddington, OM, FRS (d. 28 Aralık 1882 - ö. 22 Kasım 1944), 20. yüzyıl başlarında yaptığı çalışmalarla tanınan astrofizikçi. Eddington ışıma gücü ve yıldızların ışıma gücünün doğal sınırı, adını kendisinden alır.

Görelilik kuramına ilişkin çalışmalarıyla tanınır. Eddington Einstein'ın genel görelilik kuramını İngilizce konuşan dünyaya duyuran ve açıklayan bir dizi makale yazdı. I. Dünya Savaşı bilimsel iletişimi kopartmıştı ve Almanya'daki yeni bilimsel gelişmeler İngiltere'de bilinmemekteydi. Ayrıca 1919'da göreliliğin ilk kanıtlarından birini ortaya koyan bir tutulma (eclipse) keşfi gezisini yürüttü. Böylece teorinin popüler açıklamalarına imza attı ve geniş çevrelerce tanındı.
